I've found Windows 10 to be very receptive to older versions of stuff.

I'm using some very old stuff including Microsoft Office XP Professional with Access and Publisher and just bought a disk of Microsoft Front Page 2003. Front Page hasn't been supported since 2004 but still installed just fine.

I've got some old XP games that Windows 10 won't support though. Even if I try running them in compatibility mode. And the makers of the games have gone out of business, so there's no support or updates of any kind available either. I need to find me an "Atari Favorites" for Windows 10.
Truth be told, I always have an old computer around to do things like play games that the new box can't play or to run hardware that can't be run on the new OS.
